Tapping,
the practice that produced a 24% decrease in cortisol after just one hour,
blends Western psychotherapy or “talk” therapy with Eastern wisdom about
“meridian points” or acupressure.
Here’s how it works:
You
tap with your fingertips on a series of eight specific “meridian points” while
talking through emotions, beliefs, and memories.
Because
it accesses your emotions and body simultaneously, it provides powerful stress
relief, lowering cortisol levels faster than most traditional and alternative
stress relief methods.
STUDY FINDINGS: Tapping
balances activity between the sympathetic and
parasympathetic regions of your brain,
producing “a neutral emotional state,” the
gold standard of health and wellness.
This is the physiological state you’re in when
you feel “on”—making great decisions
quickly,
closing deals, acing presentations, growing your bottom line, and working
toward (not away from) your goals and dreams.
WOW! What a difference the right
stress relief makes!
Dr.
Church, PhD: Tapping “gives you the best of both worlds, body and mind, like
getting a massage during a psychotherapy session.”
THE TAKEAWAY:
“High
sympathetic/low parasympathetic ratios have been linked to both psychological
and physiological disorders and may, in fact, “be the final pathway linking
negative states and conditions to ill health.”

Contribution of Non-Invasive Somatic Interventions”
THE ALTERNATIVE:
EFT
Tapping regulates activity between these regions to achieve balanced activity
and the optimal health that’s the crucial foundation of effective brain
function.
STUDY FINDING: EFT Tapping is “substantially more
powerful” than diaphragmatic breathing at lowering cortisol.
Extra Benefit #1: Relieved of the excessive cortisol and
“adrenal fatigue,” your brain (and
body)
re-balance. Your brain function is optimized, your energy is restored, you
sleep better, feel
healthy
again. Your creativity and problem solving abilities return. Your metabolism is
restored.
Your
body is again able to heal itself.
Extra Benefit #2: The comprehensive body/mind stress relief
you get from Tapping in minutes
takes
hours, weeks, or weeks or months to achieve with meditation, yoga, “talk”
therapy, and
other
treatments.
Extra Benefit #3: If you already practice meditation, yoga,
affirmations, and others, Tapping
can
enhance the benefits of those other practices by lowering your cortisol levels
much quicker,
promoting
even deeper relaxation “on the cushion” and beyond.
WHAT IT ALL MEANS:
Chronic
stress is sabotaging your success, your access to abundance, making you more
vulnerable
to
health issues ranging from depression to heart disease and worse.
EFT
Tapping quickly relieves chronic stress on mental, physical and emotional
levels.
